Analysis Rough Draft

For this assignment I'm taking at look at the Ray Rice domestic violence case against his wife. Ray Rice is former running back for the Baltimore Ravens he won a Superbowl ring in 2013. Ray Rice and his fiance Janay Palmer at the time were in Atlantic City, NJ in February. When they were at a casino enjoying there selves when all of sudden things went in a different direction from what the viewers seen from the elevator footage. Ray Rice and Janay Palmer were both having some physical/ verbal altercation before entering the elevator. Once in the elevator Janay spit on Ray then he attacked her by hitting her one time in the face and then she begin to charge at him and he punched her again knocking her completely out cold causing her to hit her head on the elevator rail . She was laying in the elevator knocked out when Ray Rice begin to pick her up then dropped her back down then picked her again but instead of fulling picking her up her legs were dragging on the ground and he dropped her on the ground right outside the elevator. He started to kick at her and shake her to wake her up and then the security man came to the scene and noticed she was unconscious. Ray Rice knew his actions were wrong for putting his hands on a female. They both were arrested and both were released from jail on a simple assault charges at first....

Looking at the social media aspect of the Ray Rice situation it flooded the internet, newspapers, social networks and anything you can name of. Baltimore Ravens starting running back, Superbowl winner of 2013, and role model to youth has done a terrible shocking thing by dragging and putting his hands on his fiance. People look up to Ray Rice and want to idol him and want to be a running back in football. But not anymore from what the public witness from what he did.  Social networks blew up from TMZ elevator footage that was revealed. Ray Rice was released from the Baltimore Ravens team soon after the GM seen the tape. The internet was bashful they talked about Ray Rice and his Fiance because she took him back after the situation happen she never left him. The internet was putting up (memes) picture of his face or his fiance face talking about him. People were throwing away his jersey. They did not want any part of supporting Ray Rice. On Halloween this year people dressed up as him and his wife. The man will have a Ray Rice jersey on and the women would have bruises on her body black eye from make-up. They were making sure he got exposed for what he did. Ray Rice and his fiance Janay Palmer even did a interview and which he apologizes to the public,his family, friends and teammates for his actions.

This is just bits of pieces of where I'm going with this paper I will be touching on all 5 of the contexts from the class syllabus which we discussed in class. Also I will be giving more in depth about certain things.

1) Physical: Where an event happen? Atlantic City, New Jersey in a elevator
2) Psychological: What emotions are people feeling? angry, disappointed, sad, shocked, let down, organization may feel embarrassed.
3) Social roles we have in that situation? (i.e. rules of roles) Never put your hands on a female, be responsible, be respectful....
4) Cultural: Values of groups we associate with? different races and cultural will come give their input. I feel that people will give good and bad points about Ray Rice actions.
5) Temporal: When something happens? (time) Happen in the off season so it wasn't that much to talk but now sense it's football season you have more people talking about more reporters giving there side of the store it's much bigger now.
